Pony Manes

Hello Everypony!

We all know that the people who design the plastic pony figurines always mess the manes up. I have some tips on how to fix that.

 

All mane styles start out with a dip in boiling water. Then, to make the ponies look like they do in the cartoon, follow one or more of these steps.

 

-To curl: Wrap the mane around a pen. (Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie)

 

-To straighten: Fold a napkin in half over mane, press down. (Applejack, Twilight)

 

-To crimp: Put a series of bobby pins down mane, try to keep it straight. (Looks great for Rainbow Dash)

 

Let all mane styles dry (preferably overnight) and use a tiny bit of hairspray.

Trim as needed.

The hair style should stay for a long time.

Yeah I've seen this in some videos on youtube. I think it was a girl who made Rarity's and Pinkie Pie's hair I saw. But this is really good for those who actually buy the toys.

Youtube videos? Those could be helpful! I just finished the manes of Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, but Pinkie didn't turn out great. I think I will look that up. Thanks for replying!

Honestly, some advice of my own for Pinkie Pie;

 

Since her hair is so curly, it might be best to find small, cylindrical objects (maybe cut some crayons in half or something?) and wrap a few strands of hair at a time, making sure they look a little out of place, and at different heights to get a kind of volumized look.

 

There's my two bits ^.^ This has been really helpful, though, thanks!
